hey trentderby,

Try this as a post-install bat script:
ocsetup.exe Printing-Foundation-LPDPrintService /quiet /norestart

Hope this helps.

thank you for your help, would this work on XP? i forgot to mention that the target OS is XP! sorry!

Trentderby,

This a little more complicated but not too hard for XP.

First thing you need to do is find your windows XP source CD number.

If you click under library -> source media and than your XP CD, you'll see it in the URL.

After you find it you need to modify this script to point to your CD number and your KBOX.

Mine was ten. Example if your is 7 the last part of the first line should be "\source_cds\7 /f".
Replace all parts in brackets (remove the brackets :) )
reg add HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Setup /v ServicePackSourcePath /t REG_SZ /d \\{your kbox here}\peinst\source_cds\{source cd number here} /f
xcopy unix.inf c:\ /y
sysocmgr /i:C:\WINDOWS\inf\sysoc.inf /u:C:\unix.inf /r


After you have that save it as printer.bat

Next create this inf file call it unix.inf
[Components]
Netoc = on

[netOptionalComponents]
lpdsvc = 1

Zip up the 2 files and create them as a post install application.

The command line should be printer.bat

Good luck, hope this helps.

If memory serves, a long time ago in a land far far away... I copied files from a system that already had it enabled and that solved it.

COPY \\Server\LPRService\lpdsvc.dll C:\WINDOWS\system32 /y
COPY \\Server\LPRService\lprmon.dll C:\WINDOWS\system32 /y

I also wrote an MSI that left something behind for K1000 to detect into inventory since I was doing it as a managed install, but that wouldn't be required. Custom inventory item or script would handle it fine.

thanks im going to give it a go this afternoon.

works a treat!!! thanks very much for all your help!!!
